I am no where near as fast or organized as you, Flash, so I am a long way from closing my year. And then after I spent hours typing into the darn spreadsheet the HD died and I lost tons of stuff, 1 day before backup. Mad!
Off the top of my head, I think I can give these though...
Best FD Shop:
Morton's. I had to do BD or anniversary, and it really was my 10th anniversary. The service was outstanding, the food exquisite. QUITE a difference from the one time we had gone to the B-more one, got ignored and spent 4 hours there on our own money. Hula Grill, second; Kincade's, third.
Worst FD Shop:
Ryan's-Server greeted us and then did not return for 45 minutes. Flagged down manager, got server to take orders, both orders took too long and we not prepared as ordered (one undercooked, one way overcooked.) Manager again. New food, more wait. Free dinner (like it wasn't already!) Manager to get check. Wrote in report that it was the worst service I had received ANYWHERE. The report was a horror to write. Gordon Biersch, with the paper still attached to the cheeseburger, a close second; Roy's, third.
Worst Shop:
Getting shoe leather for a sandwich at Arby's and then having the shop rejected as I sent the sandwich back. Second: Bank new accounts rep who applied lotion to her arms, hands and shoulders the whole time she interacted with me. Third-Yard House waitress who spilled my drink on me as she passed, and then only said "sorry." No new drink, no dry cleaning.
Best shop:
Getting paid to take a one hour walk by the beach in Waikiki and interact with
1 cop and 3 aloha ambassadors. Fat fee for nice walk!
Frustration:
Getting my own dining reimbursement money and the contractor fees from Orilio and Freeman (the latter I still don't have-from APRIL.)
